ODBC issue with aggregate fields (SUM)

We do the following test on the client site :
A)Using SQLExecDirect with this query
------------
    SELECT SUM("str_sls_totals"."strsl_net_dly"), "dw_trans_type"."trans_type", "flash_dates"."year_number", "flash_dates"."month_number", "flash_dates"."day"
    FROM "dw_trans_type", "str_sls_totals", "flash_dates"
    WHERE ("flash_dates"."dt" = "str_sls_totals"."strsl_per_dt") AND
         ("dw_trans_type"."trans_type" = "str_sls_totals"."strsl_tran_type") AND
         ( NOT("str_sls_totals"."strsl_tran_type" IN (5,6)) ) AND
         ( "dw_trans_type"."trans_type" = 4 ) AND
         ( "flash_dates"."year_number" = 2005 ) AND
         ( "flash_dates"."month_number" = 8 ) AND
         ( "flash_dates"."day" = 13 )
    GROUP BY "dw_trans_type"."trans_type", "flash_dates"."year_number", "flash_dates"."month_number", "flash_dates"."day"
------------
  Extract the column size with SQLColAttributes
    SQLColAttributes:
    In:    hstmt = 0x00992148, icol = 1,
          fDescType = SQL_COLUMN_DISPLAY_SIZE=6, rgbDesc = -892679478,
          cbDescMax = 300, pcbDesc = -13622,
          pfDesc = 0x00152C90, Description Type = SQL_C_SLONG=-16
    Return: SQL_SUCCESS=0
    Out:   *pfDesc = 20
 ------------

 So the size of SUM("str_sls_totals"."strsl_net_dly") is 20.  When we change the year to 2004 the size is returned as 30 ! ! !  Is this by design or a bug.

Postgres 7.3.4, ODBC driver 7.3.200.

Thanks for any input you have.

What is the type of that column?  I'm thinking, if it's numeric, then
it's quite possible that two different amounts can have different sizes.

The column is decimal(16,2).  Thanks.
